    I was scratching my head over how anyone could be elected to office with just 10% of the vote. Were there 100 other candidates and they each got like 1% or something?

    Then it dawned on me, in the usual way that politicians have of twisting stats to make things look better (or worse) then they really are....the number of votes Bragg got is only 10% of Manhattan Residents. He won the election with like 85% of the vote...it's just that voter turnout was only about 12% of the population of Manhattan.

    Who does Trump think he is?
    Trump supporter "Some people just hate Trump"
    Gee, I wonder why?
    What other idiot on this planet would post such a thing?
    Trump could use a good ass-whooping......................

    Trump Grand Jury Might Have Been Suddenly Canceled for This Reason (msn.com)
    Something must be going on around here. It seems that Trump is somehow getting his way on this one. Can we afford these delays and longer? It seems that this going Trump's way again. How long will Trump get what he wants? It can't last indefinitely, can it?

    Looks like Kaplan hasn't seen the baseball bat threatening D.A. Bragg

    9 min ago
    'Carroll v. Trump jury will be anonymous, judge says, citing Trump's reaction to hush money probe'

    "The court will keep jurors' personal information confidential and take other measures to protect them during the trial on E. Jean Carroll's civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, the judge handling the lawsuit said Thursday.'

    Judge Lewis Kaplan cited Trump's history of attacking the legal system in explaining his reasoning for the extra security measures. In particular, Kaplan highlighted Trump's most recent comments surrounding the Manhattan district attorney's investigation into alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

    "Mr. Trump's quite recent reaction to what he perceived as an imminent threat of indictment by a grand jury sitting virtually next door to this Court was to encourage 'protest' and to urge people to 'take our country back.' That reaction reportedly has been perceived by some as incitement to violence," Kaplan wrote.

    "And it bears mention that Mr. Trump repeatedly has attacked courts, judges, various law enforcement officials and other public officials, and even individual jurors in other matters," the judge

    Saw reporting that the NY indictment won’t be until next week, but that the special prosecutor may indict him this week.

    Your fantasy is noted. You can pleasure yourself with phantasms of the the berserkers screeching, "Lock im up! Lock him up!"

    Meanwhile, the Loser is raving inanely as the agents of justice close in on him:
    Trump on Thursday called for the removal of every law enforcement official currently leading investigations into him.
    Screen Shot 2023-03-23 at 4.14.15 PM.png
    A busy morning on social media for Trump was capped with a post suggesting the leads
    of four different
    investigations into his conduct be removed from their post.

    Hilarious.

    Meanwhile the GJ failed to meet for the second day in a row. Maybe Bragg is realizing how much of a fool he's going to look like if he moves forward with this. He's most likely looking for a soft place to land on his ass.

    I think you misread his post.
    He was saying that Biden should declare a holiday when TRUMP has his mug shot taken.

    No denying that Trump has "Cluster B" covered,

    "Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by dramatic, overly emotional or unpredictable thinking or behavior. They include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder."

    He's not legally insane. He's morally and legally responsible for his conduct, however irrational and immoral it may be. That said, he has severe Cluster B personality disorders and he is continuing to decompensate.

    Trump is easily having his most deranged, psychotic day yet and he will clearly only get worse every hour. He is dangerously insane.

    Or maybe the crazy Trump followers (you know, the ones that attacked the Capitol on 1/6) are too much of a threat to let the GJ meet. Maybe they are upping security measures so that the regular citizens just doing their job don't have to fear for their lives.

    I mean if we are going to pull ideas from our rear ends....

    You can have confidence in every law enforcement official currently leading investigations into Trump being removed from their posts because the Loser wishes for it.

    Personally, I don't expect such a mass abjuration of responsibility to occur.

    That's really irrelevant to my point. The GJ was scheduled to convene both yesterday and today. Both were cancelled. Did Bragg get sick and had to cancel one of the most important hearings of his life?

    Maybe he finally saw what career suicide such an obviously politically driven thing would be

    I imagine he's panicking. Even democrats are cringing over this political hit job he's trying to achieve. He's probably huddling with them trying to figure out how he can save face.

    Costello's emails with Cohen which is supposed to be some kind of smoking gun and caused the GJ delay.
    So say Trump devotees.

    Cohen was still in the "joint defense agreement" with Trump when these emails were exchanged and he and Trump were both lying to protect Trump.
    The prosecutors have had these emails since 2018.
    Costello's bitch is the GJ didn't get to read over 300 of them,only got a few cherry=picked ones.

    I think the delay is due to Trump wanting Giuliani as the other witness for his defense and it's taking days to dry him out and wind him up....LOL!
    Giuliani was part of Trump's legal team and buddies with Costello who was recommended to Cohen with the objective of forming a united front against the prosecutors.

    Did Team Trump's last-minute witness cause grand jury delays?
    Robert Costello doesn't appear to have bombshell testimony, so it's not clear what's happening in New York.

    "If anything, we’ve learned more since then that casts doubt on Costello’s ability to upend an indictment if one was coming already. Costello has made reference to hundreds of emails that he said back up his claims, and he shared them with NBC News on Wednesday. However, NBC News reported that they “do not appear to include any kind of smoking gun pertaining to the hush money probe.” That makes sense, because even according to Costello’s own story, it’s unclear what that smoking gun would be.

    Yet, that doesn’t answer the question of what has reportedly caused the grand jury not to hear evidence or vote on a possible indictment Wednesday or Thursday this week. We may not learn more until next week, which could be the grand jury's next chance to consider charges.

    So, is it possible that Costello’s testimony is the reason for the delay? Sure. Even if prosecutors aren't worried about his testimony, it may have led them to track down rebuttal witnesses or evidence that could be relevant to the grand jury ahead of its potential vote on an indictment. But, based on the publicly available information, it’s hard to see how such a delay would stop an indictment if one was coming already."

    I think he finally realized that he's playing with fire and he bit off more than he can chew.
    He let his mouth write a check that his ass is not willing to cash

    Yes, there was a schedule. They were scheduled to convene yesterday and today. Both times were cancelled. You don't cancel what hasn't been scheduled. It normally works that way.
